The present study mainly deals with accidental analysis on National Highway-40(NDL-KNL) and its causes. Accident data for a period of six years were collected from the concerned RTI for analysis.
NH-40 Road network is from Kurnool to Chittoor. Accidental study stretch is NANDYAL-KURNOOL.
Key Words: — Road accidents , Structure of roads , Vehicle characteristics , Condition of pavements and Weather conditions , Nandyal – Kurnool.

1.INTRODUCTION
Accident: An accident is an unintentional incident that happens unexpectedly resulting in damage or injury.
Road accidents are treated as one of the main reasons for deaths globally. Nearly half a million people have been killed in road related accidents every year. Studies on road accidents have indicated that the rate of accidents in developing countries are high compare to those in developed countries. The probability of accidents taking place is influenced by many factors. The basic structure of roads, vehicle characteristics, condition of pavements and weather condition; each of these factors contribute its own share in the occurrence of accidents important cause of accidents. Accident data for a period of Six years were collected from the concerned RTI for analysis. From this analysis suitable preventive measures were suggested.
Fatal: It means a personal injury resulting in death of the person. Non–Fatal: Non-fatal means which does not leads to death. Grievous: Which causes great pain or very severe to individual. Head on Collision: A head on collision is a traffic collision where the front end of two vehicles (Such as cars, trains) hit each other in opposite direction.
2 Objectives of study
Rear end Collision: It is a traffic accident where in vehicle crashes into the vehicle in front of it.
1.To identify various factors responsible for the occurrence of accidents in selected stretch of NH-40 from Nandyal to Kurnool.
Side Collision: Side collision are vehicle crashes where one or more vehicles are impacted.

2.To quantify their effects on the causation of accidents.
4.1 DATA COLLECTION
3.To ensure that all highway schemes should operate to traffic and to minimize risks of all road users.
Data related to number of accidents , type of vehicles as well as how many persons are died and injured, date and time occurrence were collected for study stretch from the concern authorities.
4.To rectify the failures of road and providing guidelines to the road users.
